Hello, and welcome, I'm Jason Binab of The Agency,
and welcome to 2802 Arbutus Road.
I wanted to show you this home, this was built
by Abstract Developments in 2008,
designed by Keith Baker, a multi-award-winning,
CARE Award-winning home, and a fantastic example
of an open concept modern design.
Now, I've been licensed since 2005,
and I've seen a bit of a shift in what people
are looking for and like everything,
open concept versus traditional is cyclical,
so in 2005 when I got licensed,
everything was about open concept.
You had to have no walls, it was just all big,
one big space, this home is a fantastic example
of an open concept, yet it does offer some separation
and when you talk about traditional homes,
we are seeing a shift back to more of that open concept
in certain areas but also having
that separate formal dining room
and formal living room option.
Let's have a closer look inside this space
so you can get an idea of what I'm talking about.
One of the things you wanna make sure that you do
if you're doing an open concept is make sure
that it's light and airy, they've done a fantastic job here
with these oversize ceilings, the vault in them,
lots of windows, upper windows, really soaking in
that natural sunlight and the ability
for me to be sitting here, looking at the chef
in the kitchen, looking at everybody dining,
so it gives you a little bit of separation,
yet you feel like you're part of the action.
So if you're looking to buy or sell a home,
whether it's open concept or traditional,
give me a call at 778-265-5552.
Thank you very much.
